SLN’s social media presence was also strengthened with Twitter followers rising to 11,619 and LinkedIn followers reaching 7,687. During September there were 66,511 unique visitors to the SLN website.

SLN managing editor Graham Ogilvy, said: “These figures confirm SLN’s saturation coverage of Scotland’s dynamic legal sector and, as always I would like to thank all of our readers, advertisers and contributors for their continued support which is much appreciated.

“We have recently completed the redesign and development of our fast-growing new Irish Legal News website and newsletter. It has been well received and we hope to roll out the new SLN website later this month providing a new, cleaner look which is more mobile friendly with an improved search function.

“Finally, congratulations to our SLN team - Kapil Summan, Mitchell Skilling, Connor Beaton and Jeff Anderson.”
